This is a one-stop, central place, where you will find updated info about the bouldering at Rumbling Bald. Beta, name changes, grade changes, new problems, and announcements that supplement the Rumbling Bald Bouldering Guide are the focus of this blog.

West Side, The Hull Area, Shady Grove. (page 32).(This problem is listed as Propellor Head in the guide. The following is new information about the problem).old name - Propellor Headnew name - Basketball Head

Here are a bunch of names that I have thought of for some Unknown problems. Let me know if they should be changed or improved upon. I doubt if we will ever know who the first ascentionist was for these problems. If you think of better names, let me know!

West Side, Trailside Area, Trailside Boulder (page 21).old name - Unknown 7e)new name - Gone MissingThis problem used to have a very large "see-through" flake on the face above the sit start. It has since broken off and gone missing. The crimp that you grab, on the face, above the sit start is all that remains of what was once a very large jug / flake.
